I'm a huge fan of The Who. Not so much Pearl Jam, but goddamn they did a fine cover of Love Reign O'er Me:

This came up in another thread recently. T-Pain knocked War Pigs out of the park:

Blind Guardian is niche enough that they're not going to be on many people's radar, let alone for best cover ever. But their version of Mr. Sandman always brings a smile to my face, if nothing else than for the iterative nature of each verse.

I had heard that T-Pain's cover was good but never heard it myself until just now. Not only did he absolutely kill it, but the guitarist went off too. Great performance that honours the original.
Just reminded me of the time a cover of sad but true came on Spotify. I asked who it was and gf said The Hu. I thought she said The Who and was extremely confused for about 10 seconds until the Mongolian throat singing started.
Fuck yes for Blind Guardian call
